P3.9—Apparatus, materials and laboratory safety

Practical work depends on recognising standard apparatus, biological reagents, hazard labels and safe procedures.

Match a precaution to the hazard and follow the specific confidential instructions for the experiment.

Wear eye protection when handling corrosive reagents and dispose of biological cultures using the specified decontamination route.

A hazard label describes a risk; it does not replace a risk assessment for the actual quantity and procedure.
